Eclipse Glasses Sold Out Fast | UK News

Don’t risk your eyesight—this week’s massive solar eclipse, the biggest in the UK since 1999, demands proper protection. With 90% of the sun covered, even a glance without certified eclipse glasses can cause permanent retinal damage. Retailers are sold out, official sources like the Royal Museums Greenwich are wiped clean, and desperate buyers are driving miles or checking bakeries for last-minute pairs. Experts warn that even scratched or counterfeit glasses can be dangerous—and social media sales are risky. Seventy vision cases followed the 1999 eclipse, many from just seconds of exposure. Your retina doesn’t hurt, so you won’t know harm is done until it’s too late. For safety, consider a livestream instead of risking it.
